love is for gangstas who love
like a drive-by might occur
as if an occurrence of bullets
might hit
the heart of one of them
but not before they declare love
for the dead
heart
they are protecting
cause when you love with death
on your heart
and mind
death comes
you call it relationship ending
smart folks call it what it is
divination
foreshadowing
i call it what i’ve called every relationship
the end
